Simulations with CFR Education

Watch this CFR Education webinar from the Council on Foreign Relations to learn about free simulations that invite educators and their students to step into the roles of decision-makers on the U.S. National Security Council or UN Security Council. CFR Education simulations help students develop critical thinking, persuasive speaking and writing, and collaboration skills while giving them hands-on experience grappling with today’s most pressing global issues. 

In this thirty minute webinar recording, participants: 

• discover how to use CFR Education mini simulations and extended simulations in their classroom; 
• explore the range of regions and issues that students can dive into through simulations;
• gain tips and tricks for running a National Security Council and UN Security Council role-play;
• learn how to tailor simulations to individual schedules and needs; and
• ask questions!

CFR Education aims to close the global literacy gap in our country by providing accessible, accurate, and authoritative resources that build the knowledge, skills, and perspective high school and higher education students need to understand and engage with today’s most pressing global issues.
